NY state and NYRA at odds over figs?

Why aren't there outraged editorials on that?!? Like every week?!?

i can't disagree with you on that , yonkers send 54% of all vlt $ to albany , certainly the figureheads in albany should know that a slots terminal at the big a will help purses for nyra and also send more tax $ to albany in the long run

there will be some decrease at yonkers once the big a is up and running but i think both will be cash cows for the state and for years. yonkers was a dead place , the purses were shrinking , the horsemen asked for help from the meadowlands and were given the thumbs down .......now yr is thriving , purses are up , albany has got to get these slots in to help NYRA get its groove back
